2006 Nissan X-Trail ST-S 2.4 petrol
Summary:
Great car, would recommend buy second hand, not new, and monitor service costs
Faults:
Minor issues, squeaks and rattles, rough idle when drive engaged while stopped.
General Comments:
This car is very good, however dealer service is expensive. For example, over $500 for a 40,000K service. And the service is every 10,000k.
Also the dealers seems unable to repair the rattling sunroof or squeaking rear suspension (1 dealer moved on).
The fuel economy is very good at 10 liters per 100km average. Does not seem to matter whether city of highway driving, 600 km on a 60 liter tank is always achievable.
There is an issue where the idling is rough if left in Drive when stopped at lights.
I think Nissan make a great car for the money, very high tech and very reliable, but they just don't have a suitable service support infrastructure, here in Brisbane Australia anyway.
For this reason I will not be purchasing another Nissan.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
